Missionary Man

  Dakotah is leaving and it's a dream come true for me, a Dream I have hoped for, Prayed for and a Cause that has influenced the way we Live, Love and Learn, a major Turning Point, A time for growth, A time for Strength, A time for Hope, A time for Love, A time for many Prayers shared for One Cause, A time for a Mothers Smile and a Fathers Encouragement, A time for Brothers and a Sisters chance to realize how much Family Ties mean.  To be a part of something so much more than we are.  To witness many coming back to the Father who sent them.  For Generations affected for the Better because of One willing to Sacrifice and Serve.  How Grateful I am and how Proud!  There have been many wonderful, spiritual moments in my life but seeing Dakotah enter the Temple seems to be among the Top.  So I hold my breath and continue to do the best I can and pray for our other children as they go through life.

Aw, this choked me up all up, my sentiments exactly, now if I don't kill my 16 year old boy before he leaves on a mission, I will have done good! Congrats to Dakotah, to you mom, and he will be AWESOME!
And does he already have a girl waiting???!?!?!?

I'm so happy for you Tammy!

And I'm jealous because Dakotah will get to see my parents in just a few short weeks when he arrives in Peru!!! I'll make sure they take extra good care of him!
